Bakehouses.
On the 25th August, 1883, an Act was passed, cited as
"The Factory and Workshop Act, 1883," an Act to amend
the law relating to certain factories and workshops. By
this Act, the provisions respecting retail bakehouses are to
be enforced by the Local Authority and not by an Inspector
under the Factory and Workshop Act.
This restores to Sanitary Authorities their former position
as "Local Authority" (which they held prior to the
repeal of the Bakehouse Regulation Act, 1863), so far as
relates to the inspection, &c., of bakehouses.
The following sections are important:—
"15. (Regulations for new bakehouses.)—It shall not be
lawful to let or suffer to be occupied as a bakehouse, or to
occupy as a bakehouse, any room or place which was not so
let or occupied before the 1st day of June, 1883, unless
the following regulations are complied with:—
"(1) No water-closet, earth-closet, privy, or ash-pit shall be
within or communicate directly with the bakehouse.
